32b0e64b56 Add 802.11h quiet time element support into net80211.
This supports both station and hostap modes:

* Station mode quiet time element support listens to quiet time
  IE's and modifies the local quiet time configuration as appropriate;
* Hostap mode both obeys the locally configured quiet time period
  and includes it in beacon frames so stations also can obey as needed.

96283082bb Add a new mgmt subtype "ACTION NO ACK" defined in 802.11n-2009, while here
clean up parts of the *_recv_mgmt() functions.
- make sure appropriate counters are bumped and debug messages are printed
- order the unhandled subtypes by value and add a few missing ones
- fix some whitespace nits
- remove duplicate code in adhoc_recv_mgmt()
- remove a useless comment, probably left in while c&p

59aa14a91d Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the
net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.

Authentication and encryption are not implemented.

There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).

A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.

Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.

More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh

Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.

Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

2bc3ce7732 Minor cleanups of tdma protocol handling:
o break out version-related code to simplify rev'ing the protocol
o add parameter validation macros so checks that appear multiple places
  are consistent (and easy to change)
o add protocol version check when looking for a scan candidate
o improve scan debug output format
o rewrite beacon update handling to calculate a bitmask of changed values
  and pass that down through the driver callback so drivers can optimize work
o do slot bounds check before use when parsing received beacons

10ad9a77f3 TDMA support for long distance point-to-point links using ath devices:
o add net80211 support for a tdma vap that is built on top of the
  existing adhoc-demo support
o add tdma scheduling of frame transmission to the ath driver; it's
  conceivable other devices might be capable of this too in which case
  they can make use of the 802.11 protocol additions etc.
o add minor bits to user tools that need to know: ifconfig to setup and
  configure, new statistics in athstats, and new debug mask bits

While the architecture can support >2 slots in a TDMA BSS the current
design is intended (and tested) for only 2 slots.

b032f27c36 Multi-bss (aka vap) support for 802.11 devices.
Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral).  Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.

68e8e04e93 Update 802.11 wireless support:
o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now
  fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics;
  these changes are visible to user applications which require changes
o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable
  background scanning and roaming
o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating
  mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint
  on systems w/ constrained resources
o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss
  mode yet)
o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques
o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now
  we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi
  and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap
o add tx fragmentation support
o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming
  drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline
  for other drivers to be developed and for user applications
o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates
  prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally
o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames
  encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx
  large frames correctly)
o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support
o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style
o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps
o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling
  authentication and association failures
o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need
  net80211 support (not in this commit)
o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead)
o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan
  results so future additions will not break user apps
o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an
  index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with
  multi-mode operation
o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing

Drivers:
o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames,
       dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs
       new hal)
o awi: compile tested only
o ndis: lightly tested
o ipw: lightly tested
o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some
       rough edges)
o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data
o wi: lightly tested

This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa,
mlaier, kevlo, and others.  Much of the scanning work was supported by
Atheros.  The 11n work was supported by Marvell.
